Questions you hate being asked

[DoomyMcDoom]

it used to be

so what are doing/going to do..I hated it, the most stress inducing horible question ever and the most common one to be asked

its ok now...now I just say "this is my job, its an interesting as it sounds" (ie: not very)

I guess now its

what hobbies do you have/what do you like to do...

"ummmm..I errrr " [small/] Im also an A-social person who really has absolutly nothing to say about what she does because from your perspective I do ABOLUTLY NOTHING in my spare time...because Im pretty sure action figures and comics doesnt count for much in your eyes...which is fine I just dont want to bore you wit the detials, I know you wont understand or be interested .....I supose and I should try and fix that but whenever I get out an offer to go/do somthing I know I wont enjoy it and Im sick of having to do things I dont want to do all my life..so now I dont, and the freinds I used to have I think "what do I have in common with thease people?" not much..not much at all...but thats no excuse because I still might enjoy their company if only I could re-connect but HOW do you do that?? do I really want to? have they forget I exist? so instead I say[/I] [/small]

"I like movies...shopping, reading that kind of thing"

You should just tell people what you really enjoy doing in your spare time, you might be suprised by how many people will positively relate to you, never think about how people might think of you, just be proud to be you, fuck everyone else. Not like I'm some kinda psychologist or anything, but I've been reclusive myself because after a string of bad social experiences I decided I wasn't like other people and nobody would be interested in my boring hobbies, then one day I decided it wasn't getting me anywhere, sitting alone watching the world for 6 or so years, so I just decided to be me, and fuck the world, now I have friends and an active dating life, and yes I am a gamer, I like geeky movies, and all that stuff but if you are you, and make it a challenge to yourself to be awesome in the way you are, to learn new things or try new things, or experience things you at first think you won't like, just cuz you haven't done it before... I'm gonna stop now, I'm doing it again, but seriously, if you want advice, or whatever just ask me, I've been through hell, I don't expect to ever be in "heaven" but if you take charge you can change your own hell by adding air fresheners and nice curtains and a sofa, and all that... or something fuck it's all about perspective, not changing you, but changing how you see you, and how you see others, it in turn changes how others see you, and makes life better...

On topic, I hate being asked what kind of music I like, or what my favourite food is, THERE'S SO MANY!

 

[Hosker]

What type of music I like. People just think I'm weird and don't know what to say once I tell them.

 

[Romblen]

"Is Forrest your real name?"

No, it's not, I just really like being compared to a fictional retard.

I was born before Forrest Gump came out, but I doubt I'll ever hear the end of the Forrest Gump jokes.

 

[JAGMASK08]

"Why are you being quiet"? Or the sarcastic "I can't get a word in edge ways with you". Maybe I just prefer to listen rather than talk, you f***ing tool!

 

[liveslowdiefast]

How can you not like/enjoy football?

To: Anyone on this thread complaining about people asking them to say things in a different language.
Subject: Sorry

I'm very interested in the different languages of the world, and when I meet new people who speak different languages I'll always want to talk about it with them. I had absolutely no idea people felt this way about it, and if I ever annoy you in this way, I'm sorry, but I am, honestly, interested.

Yours sincerely, necromanzer52.

First of all, apology accepted. The following is not directed at you specifically, just people in general: Here's my issue with people that do ask me to say something in Dutch (and I admit this is petty): Give me something to say. More often than not I will literally be asked to "Speak Dutch" or "Say something in Dutch". If I knew what you want me to say, then I'll say it, mkay? Furthermore, please don't laugh at the way my language sounds. We pronounce certain letters differently. Get over it people, it happens. /rant

 

[alandavidson]

I'm allergic to a lot of foods, and people will ask two questions when they find this out:

Why are you allergic to them?
I don't fucking know, maybe God's trying to murder me in my sleep

What do you eat?
Anything that won't put me into the hospital, what the fuck do you think I eat, everything I'm allergic to?

 

[Tipsy Giant]

How tall are you? do you play basketball?


How would they like it if I went up to every short guy asking their height and if they play miniature golf?

6'6 really isn't that big of a deal

 

[Tipsy Giant]

I hate being asked if I play basketball, I may be 6'6" but I don't play basketball at all.

SNAP, damn that's eerie, I posted the exact same thing before reading your post

 

[Twilight_guy]

I hate being asked questions about violence in video games by people who don't play video games or are older. Explaining the abstraction of the game is difficult.

 

[OctoH]

I hate being ask why I'm gay. Or how I know I'm gay. That is beyond irritating.

 

[KillKill]

This sounds so egotistical but I hate the question "How did you get so good at drawing?" because it's a complex answer and I'm also told it's not often not meant as a question but as a complement. But still it's said as a question and the answer is so easy, practice!

The other question I think is just annoying "Did you look at something when drawing this?" I don't really know what that really means. Is that a odd way of asking if someone traced something? I just don't know.

I get asked these a lot too, the first one I just get really awkward about because I don't particularly think I'm that good...

As for the second I think they mean to ask if you used a reference.

 

[Shifty]

Being asked if I am English. No I am Irish and have an Irish accent which sounds nothing like an English accent and if you are that bad a judge of accents you shouldn't make presumptions in your question, simply ask where I am from.

Also England and Ireland have a very long history most of it quite bad (for the Irish I am afraid) so of all countries please pick one that didn't commit genocide on us (Cromwell) and no I am not an Irish republican and yes I am very happy that we share a much better rapport now and no I am not anti England at all. Just saying is all.

 

[mechman123]

why I was working at yellowstone, all employees had to wear name tags that said their first name and where they were from underneath. This ranged from US states to countries like Ukraine or Taiwan. I was born in Massachusetts. Every day without fail people, From the US mind you, would ask if my last name was Massachusetts. After a while I stared saying it was...*sigh*
Another question that I got sick of answering was "Whats that sound?" The noise came from our kitchens ovens and grill which were on the old side and viewable from the dining area. After a while I started lying about the source my favorite being that: "Oh thats the bears we keep in the basement. They are attached to a wheel that turns the generator that powers this building, and sometimes they get a little rowdy." What was sad and funny was that with both of these questions people believed what I said.

 

[Naeras]

Anything related to my studies, if it's asked by people that aren't studying natural sciences, math, medicine or informatics.

You see, I'm studying molecular biology, which is a field I find really fascinating. It's not the most obvious job-grab in the world, but there is a market for it within medical firms, disease detection, brewing, foodmaking, research, etc. Whenever I tell most people what I'm studying, one of the following generally happens:

1) "Huh. That sounds.. interesting." and then changing the subject. Always said in a semi-condescending "wtf am i listening to"-tone.
2) "Huh. That sounds.. interesting." followed by awkward silence because they have no idea how to reply. Gawd. Economy students and law students are the biggest offenders when it comes to this. Gah.
3) Other people in the conversation starts complaining about how much they sucked at math/biology/chemistry/physics in high school. Which I really don't give a shit about.
4) "What are you gonna do when you're done studying?"

I definitely prefer the last one. My standard reply to that is "mad scientist that will eradicate humanity with ". Which has gotten me both promises of support for my future research, some good laughs and women replying flirtingly that "they should get on my good side so that I let them live, in that case".

 

[The Floating Nose]

I hate being asked "How are you doing st school ?" To which i always answer: "Im doing fine !"

I hated it when people asked me and my brother : "Are you guys twins ?" or "Am i seeing double hur hur hur ?" YES ME AND MY BROTHERS ARE TWINS, IDENTICAL MIRROR TWINS YOU HAPPY NOW ?

 

[Combustion Kevin]

"what's wrong with yer eye, are you retarded?"

no, my dear, it is blind, now bugger off.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Actually after a reading a few other entrys with the same kind of question i'm going to add "So have you got a girlfriend yet?"

No because if i did i'd probably make a big deal of it!

 

[Mannayz]

'Dude, you have a third nipple? Can I see it?'

Seriously. I should probably stop using it as a conversation piece when I have nothing better to talk about.
